To all whom it may concern.'

Be it known that I, GEORGE SABINI, a citi zen of the United States, and residing at N ew York, in the county of `New York and State .of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inVVindows, of which the followingis ak specification, Such as will enable those skilled in the art to which it appertains to make4 and use the same.

This invention relates, toy house windows, and the 'object` thereof is to provide a window of this class in which the sashes both topk and bottom are counterbalanced, and may be vertically moved and vertically adjusted in the usual manner for yventilation and other purposes, and may also be moved forwardly or inwardly and swung into different positions to facilitate the cleaning of the sashes, or the transparent panels there in, and with these and other objects in view the invention consists in the construction, combination and arrangement of parts hereinafter described and claimed. y

Ilhe invention is fully disclosed in the following specification, of which the kaccompanyingdrawings form a part, in which the separate parts of my improvement are designated by suitable reference characters in each of theviews, and in which Figure l is a vertical section of a window made according to my invention, said section being on the line 1 1 of Fig. it; Fig. 2 a detail view of a sash attachment which l employ and one of which is connected with the opposite sides ofboth sashes; Fig. 3 a

view of the attachment shown in Fig. 2 but looking in the direction ofthe arrow 3 ;,F ig. 4. a cross section on the line 4-4 of Fig. 5; F ig. 5 a vertical section on the line 5 5 of Fig. t; Fig. 6 a section on the line 6 6 of Fig. 5; and, Fig. 7 a section on` the line 7 7 of Fig. 6.

In the drawing forming part of this specification, I have shown a window frame, comprising the usual top :membery a, bottom member a2 and opposite side members a3, and the side members a3 are madek boxshaped in form and contain vertical chambers at in which the counter-balance weights and chains operate, and the said opposite side members as ofthe frame are provided with the usual central bead strips a5 and inner and outer bead strips a6 and a7 forml ling vertical spaces in which the top sash b and bottom sash o are vertically movable in the usual manner, and the said chambers at l are provided with inner walls as. rEhe top sash b is provided with side members b2, a top member 63 and a bottom member bt, and

the bottom sash c isr provided with side members c2, a top member o3 and a bottom member 04. The opposite sides of the sashes are provided respectively with side supplemental stiles b5 and c5 which are of the same verti-` cal height as the sashes, and which are connected therewith and moved vertically therewith in the operation of'moving said sashes up and down in the usual way, and the supplemental stiles b5 and c5 are provided with tongues 6G and c which operate y i, in corresponding grooves in the inner and outer bead strips a and a7 and in the central bead strips a5.

The sides b2 and c2 of the sashes are grooves as shown at l to form corresponding tongues (Z2, and the supplemental stiles bi and c5 are similarly grooved to receive the tongues (Z2, and said sides of the sashes and said supplemental stiles are thus adapted to interlock as shown in F igs, 4; and 6. The supplemental stiles b5 and c5 at the opposite sides of the sashes are connected with the bottom portions of said sashes, as shown in Figs. 5, 6 and 7, and in making this connection boX members c are countersunk and secured in the bottom of the sides of the sashes and to the bottom rails of said sashes, as shown in Figs. 5, 6 and 7, and other boX members f are secured to, or

in the lower ends of the supplemental stiles p b5 and o5, and the boX members f are provided in one side thereof with curved slots 7:2, and bolts g are passed into the box members e and f, as clearly shown in Figs. 5, 6 and 7, and said bolts g are provided with pins g2 which operate in the slots f2, and the bolts g are locked in the box members e by set screws g3, and the object of the slots and pins g2 is to force the supplemental Stiles b5 and o5 outwardly, or in the direc- A h2 passed over pulleys h3 in the top of the frame and secured to the tops of the sashes in the usual or any preferred manner, and mounted adjacent to thev pulleys h3 at the opposite sides of the window frame are other pulleys it, and movable in the sides of the window frame or in the chambers a" are other counter-balance weights h5, having chains 72, which pass over the pulleys 7a4.

The. supplemental stiles b5 and c5 at the opposite sides of both sashes are provided with longitudinal recesses z' closed by plates j which are secured to and in said supple mental stiles by screws je, and the lower ends of these plates have countersunk housings ja in which are mounted pulleys jt, and said plates are provided on the inner sides of the lower end portions thereof with guide pulleys j and the upper end portions of said `plates are provided with inwardly set guide pulleys j and j?, and the chains h6 after passing' around the pulleys it* at the top of the window frame are passed down and around the pulleys j, and then up and around the outer side faces of the pulleys 3'5, and then up and around. the inner side faces of the pulleys ja, and then around the pulleys` j?. ItV will be noted that the pulleys y'7V are set in planes at right angles to the pulleys j as are also the pulleys jt, and that the pulleys y'5 and j are in the same plane, and the said chains h6 after being passed around the pulleys j? are secured to the sides of the sashes as shown at js'in Fig. Ll. rThe chains 7i after beingv passed around the pulleys h4 are passed down through grooves 7c in the inner parts b of the supplemental Stiles b5 of the top sashy and the outer parts c6 of the supplemental stiles c5 of the bottom sash to the pulleys jt, this construction being shown in Figs. d and 5.

In'Fig. 1 of the accompanying drawing, both sashes areshown in dotted lines, as swung inwardly at an angle of from thirtyive to forty-five degrees, and the bottom sash in this position is above the top sash, or said top sash has been lowered and the bottom sash raised, and when the sashes are in this position they may be swung inwardly to anyl desired angle to facilitate the washing or cleaning there-of, or the transparent pan'- Vels therein, and the bottom sash may be raised independently of the top sash and swung inwardly, asabove described, but in order to swing the top sash inwardly it ymust be lowered into its lowest position,

and the bottom sash turned inwardly and raised above the top of the top sash, after which said top sash may be swung inwardly. It -will also be apparent that the Abottom sash may be raised slightly and swung inwardly after which the top sash may be lowered slightly and, swung inwardly, this position being not indicated.

vIn the transverse section shown in Fig. 4,

- the lower sash is shown slightly in perspecand when the sashes are both in their normal position, or the position indicated in full lines in Fig. 1, they may be raised and lowered in the usual manner, and in this operation the supplemental stiles b5 and c5 move therewith.

It will be understood, of course, that the bolts g form pivots on which the sashes turn in the above described operation,jand in the operation of swinging the sashes inwardly the pins g2 travel in the curved slots or grooves f2 in the box members f which are secured to the supplemental stiles b5 and c5, and thisy holds the supplemental stiles b5 and c5 in close contact with the side members as of the window frame, and this prevents any rattling or shaking of the sashes in the inclined position thereof, or when said sashes are swung inwardly and then back into position, and in the manipulation of the sashes, as hereinbefore described, tlie counter-balance weights h5 serve to hold said sashes in any position' into which they may be turned, one of said positions being indicated in Fig. l. My improvement is also not solely designed for the purpose of cleaning windows but, as will be understood, it also facilitates the ventilation of buildings, or rooms, or compartments, for the reason that the sashes may be swung into such positions as -will control the currents of air passing through the window, and while I have shown and described the pivotal connection of the supplemental stiles b5 and c5 at the bottom of the sashes it will be understood-that this exact location of said pivotal connection is not essential, and although I have shown and described the construction Awhich I prefer in order to carry my invention into effect, my said invention is not limited to the exact details of construction herein shown and described, and various changes therein and modifications thereof may be made, within the scope of the appended claims, without departing from thespirit of my invention or sacrificing its advantages. I-Iaving fully described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is l. A. window provided with a counterbalanced sash having a supplemental coun'- ter-balanced stile movable vertically with said sash and between the bead strips, said supplemental stile being pivoted to said angles to the sash and then up and around a guide pulley arranged in the plane of said sash and then over and around a guide pulley arranged at right angles to the sash and secured to said sash, said guide pulleys being secured in the supplemental stile Whereby the sash may be moved vertically and swung in a plane at right angles to the plane of the window and held at any desired angle to the window frame.

2. In an apparatus of the class described, an attachment for the opposite sides of window sashescomprising a plate having a pulley Counter-sunk in the lower outer Side thereof and in a plane parallel therewith,

another pulley mounted on the inner side v thereof above the last named pulley and at right angles to the plane thereof7 another pulley mounted above the last named pulley and in the same plane therewith, and another pulley mounted above the last named pulley and in a plane at right angles thereto.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my invention I have signed my name in presence of the subscribing witnesses this 3rd day of May 1915.
